*sigh* Hillary

There
was no permanent, Senate-confirmed inspector general at any point
during Clinton’s tenure at State. Despite its own repeated pledges of
transparency and bipartisan pleas from Congress, the Obama
administration declined to nominate an official IG until five months
after Clinton had left office. By then, she had become the only
secretary of state to serve without the oversight of a permanent
inspector general since the position was created in 1957.Read

The Hillary Clinton campaign has gone on the attack against the
government official who conducts oversight of the State Department she
used to run, accusing him of partisanship and misconduct without any
direct evidence.

[...]

This is not the first time Team Clinton has accused a federal inspector
general of trying to foil her presidential ambitions. In January, the
campaign publicly accused the inspector general of the intelligence
community of acting in concert with two Republican senators to leak
details of now-classified information found on her private e-mail
server. This week, the Clinton campaign set its sights on Steve Linick,
who has served as the State Department’s inspector general since 2013.

This
is just precious; she's attacking State's Obama Administration
appointed IG (after
congress finally demanded that new State head John Kerry nominate
someone). Let me point out that if Donald Trump was accused of
taking
kick-backs, perjury, bank fraud, violation of every campaign law
extant, theft of White house property, real estate fraud, and any other
impropriety you'd care to name—even
with all that, he would still be under the shadow of Hillary Clinton's
well
documented criminal past. So STFU about Trump, or anyone else
for
that matter.
